Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I retired my cool last Tuesday Boxed up my sleek Black air-whatevers Clicked “add to cart” on a new life chapter Hello Cloud-soft leather Doorbell rings Kids at the peephole “Dad What’s that?” like a jump scare scene Lace up proud in that white and blue glow I walk out feeling seventeen [Chorus] I got my dad shoes Bad moves White and blue New Balance groove Traded style for comfort and my arches approve (oh yeah) Kids point Kids laugh “Can we please not walk so fast?” But I got ten more miles in these ridiculous shoes In my dad shoes Bad moves [Verse 2] I’m striding through aisles at the big-box Pushing that cart like a runway king Got coupons tucked in my side socks And loyalty points for everything My kids trail ten full steps behind me Filming my stride for their friends at school But when their feet hurt Guess who they find? “Hey dad… those look kinda cool” [Chorus] I got my dad shoes Bad moves White and blue New Balance groove Traded style for comfort and my arches approve (hey!) Kids point Kids laugh “Can we Uber there instead of that?” But I got ten more miles in these ridiculous shoes In my dad shoes Bad moves [Bridge] [Beat drops to claps Bass Playful sax riff] Front row at the soccer game Got cushion Got grip Got zero shame They roast I boast “Try ‘em on one day” You’ll join the dad-shoe parade (parade!) [Chorus] I got my dad shoes Bad moves White and blue New Balance groove Traded style for comfort and my knees say “thank you” (ooh) Kids point Kids laugh But I just lean into the dad-hood path ‘Cause I got lifetime swagger in these practical hues In my dad shoes My white and blue New Balances Bad moves

pop, Bouncy upbeat pop with bright sax leads trading licks with a choppy rhythm guitar; male vocals. Tight live drums and bouncy bass keep it danceable, with playful horn stabs answering punchlines. Verses stay light and conversational, choruses explode with stacked gang vocals and sax hooks. Bridge strips to claps, bass, and a cheeky sax riff before a big, feel-good final chorus.
